Micah Hearn

Coyly playful, unsparingly autobiographical, Micah Hearn's active canvases evidence an impulsive, dynamic brushstroke laid over the imposed compositional order of a patchwork-like grid- a reference to his grandmother’s quiltmaking. His chromatically dazzling works are based on memory and the cascading layers of associations that memories bring on. These often concern complex family relationships and thorny issues surrounding the people and politics of his Mississippi hometown. Micah earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Pacific Northwest College of Art in 2012.
